Payton POV
I was in my room playing with Barbra, my doll, when I hear daddy playing his old classic rock and roll music. Usually I don't really care. But I prefer Broadway songs, like the ones mommy use to sing to me. But today I heard more than the people singing.

I slowly and quietly walk out of my room and I see my dad dancing and singing along to some 80s music. He's packing his football bag and I hear him sing. I get so happy, maybe he can sing me to sleep while mommy gets better!

"Sing daddy!" I yell running to him

He jumps and turns to me. He turns red, just like strawberries. My favorite! Man I'm hungry. Than he scratches his neck.

"You heard that P?" He asks
"Yup!" I say excited
"Do you know who journey is?" He asks
"Yeah, mommy loves don't stop, whenever she drove me to school we'd always sing it in the car, but sometimes she cries when she hears it" I say confused

Every time I looked back she always had some tears in her eyes. I don't know why. But she still loves that song.

"Oh," dad says, now he looks like he's about to cry! Maybe journey is just a really mean person
"You still want to hear it?" He asks
"Yeah!" I yell

He goes to the radio and clocks some buttons. Then I hear the intro and I start thinking of mommy. I smile, because I know if she were here she'd be smiling too.

"..A smell of wine and cheap perfume!" I sing loud

My dad looks at me with his eyebrows raised. Than he smiles and he starts dancing with me. Even though he can't dance.

"Don't stop!" My dad and I finish off the song

When it's done it switches to some other song. I think it's more journey. My dad looks at me and smiles.

"You sound just like your mom" he smiles

Now I start smiling, mommy's on Broadway because she's a really good singer. So maybe I can be on Broadway too!

"Really!!" I jump asking my dad
"Yup, both extremely talented" he smiles proud
"Yay!" I jump excited, I look at his big screen tv "can I watch a movie?" I ask
"Sure what is it?" He asks

I run to my room and take out all my stuff and take out my favorite movie in the whole planet. Mommy and I always watch it when she doesn't have to work. Even aunt Santana gets into it sometimes. Well, almost sometimes. I ran back out and show my dad.

"Funny girl? Why am I not surprised," he says putting it in

I get excited and sit on the couch. I have Barbra sitting next to me. I named her after miss Barbra Streisand.

A couple hours later

"P the guys are coming over in a few, can you please clean up all this" daddy asks pointing to everything that's mine

I look around and I see my pink boa, my coloring book, my dads bedazzled football, oh and I see my dolls dresses. Well I should probably get those. So I get up and go to my room. In a few seconds the doorbell rings.

I'm in my room when I hear my dad talking. Oh well looks like everything else has to stay out there.

Finn POV
I open the door to reveal the guys. We all fist bump and they all walk in. Puck has pizza and Zack has soda. We're all watching the game tonight. I close the door and I see all the guys staring at Payton's things.

"Looks like the man cave has turned to a a little girls dream princess house" Sam says touching Payton's pink boa
"Yeah, it's a little messy" I answer

I hadn't realized how much my apartment has changed ever since Payton moved in. I've been having so much fun getting to know her, I hadn't realized how different I've been. But it's a good different.

Back to Payton POV
I walk out and I see the guys from football. I say hi and they all wave back to me. I get my coloring book and sit on the counter. I start coloring and Uncle Sam walks over to me.

"What you coloring?" He asks
"A princess" I answer
"Cool, so, do you know Mercedes?" He asks me
"No, but mommy always talk about her on the phone, says she's doing very well for herself" I answer remembering that one phone call
"Oh, so how old are you again?" He asks me
"Eight, how old are you?" I ask
"That's for me to know and you to find out" he says

I just shrug and continue my coloring. Then another football guy comes up to me. He's holding a soda. Mommy told me soda rottens your teeth.

"So mini Jewish princess when's your birthday?" Noah, aka, Puck asks me
"In October" I answer still coloring
"Finn! You said you and berry last did it in February, right?" Noah yells at my dad

I look up and see my dad widen his eyes and run to us. He shoots uncle Noah a look,

"Puck!" He yells
"What, this girls birthday is in October, which is nine months after February" he answers
"I'm confused. What does did it mean?" I ask my dad
"Um it means..." He looks at the clock "it means its time for bed" he says
"Awww, no fair, it's only seven thirty" I answer

My dad looks conflicted as I show him my puppy dog eyes. It never works with mommy but it always works with auntie Tana.

"Oh man, huddy, just let her stay up till eight" I hear uncle Noah say
"Yeah, you can't say no to those eyes" Uncle Sam says too
"Ok fine, but just for tonight!" My dad says

I smile and run to sit next to the guys. Then my dad comes and sits next to me. I'm so happy I get to stay up. I never get to stay up! I won't sleep until this game finishes!

Halfway through the the game

Finn POV
I look down and I see Payton fast asleep in my arms. She's so much like Rachel. It's kind of scary, and hard to believe she's my daughter too. But she is, and I don't mind.

I hadn't realize I was staring at my daughter for so long until puck hit my back.

"You did good Hudson, she's perfect" he tells me smiling
"Yeah, she's exactly like you and Rachel," Sam adds in
"Thanks guys" I smile looking at her sleep "I'm gonna go put her to bed" I say picking her up,

She stirs a little but she's still asleep. Thank god she's a heavy sleeper. I walk into her room and lay her down, she immediately grips onto her doll. I quietly walk out as she sleep peacefully.

The guys are right. She's perfect.
